IMMUNOLOGY
• Today's lecture is going to summarize the whole course and there are going to be things that you may not understand. Also, they are going to be some points that are very summarized, because later on you will have a whole lecture on it.
• The goal of this lecture is to give an outline of the course immunology

DEFINITION
• Immunology is the study of our protection from foreign macromolecules or invading organisms and our responses to them.
• Host – e.g. me!!!!• Foreign macromolecule, antigen –
e.g. virus protein, worm, parasite (Everything that should not be in my body)

DEFINITION
• Immunity: this word comes from the Latin word immunitus which means "freedom from "And in this case it means freedom from disease, and freedom from infection.
• So, although our world is full of microbes we do not fall ill because of the blessing of our immune system

• THYMUS– site of T cell maturation (final maturation will
occur however in the secondary lymphoid organs)– embryology: derived from the 3rd and 4th
pharyngeal pouches; maximum weight is at puberty then involutes during adulthood
– consists of two zones: cortex, which has immature T cells, epithelial cells and macrophages; and the medulla, which mature T cells and Hassal corpuscles ( concentric follicles composed of dead and dying reticular cells, macrophages and neutrophils)
![Page 10: BASIC IMMUNOLOGY SAMUEL AGUAZIM(MD). IMMUNOLOGY Today's lecture is going to summarize the whole course and there are going to be things that you may not.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d195503460f949eece3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• LYMPH NODES– secondary organs in the immune system; most
common site for the production of the adaptive immune response since they filter the lymph and are exposed to the antigens
– B cells are found in the cortex, while the T cells are found in the paracortex
– Germinal centers may be develop in the cortex during an immune response depending on antigen stimulation; composed mainly of T cells, B cells, and macrophages; the B cells develop into PLASMA CELLS in the germinal centers

• - Factors which contribute to immunogenicity• the immune system normally recognize foreign
substances• the larger the molecule, the more antigenic it is• the more complex the structure, especially proteins
with secondary, tertiary or quarternary structures are immunogenic
• lipids are usually not immunogenic, however, when they are coupled to proteins, they trigger delayed hypersensitivity responses (they do not stimulate the production of antibodies)
• polysaccharides are also good immunogens• nucleic acids are poor immunogens

IgE
• least common serum Ig • allergic reactions• parasitic helminth diseases• IgE is found primarily in
tissues and bodily fluids
![Page 44: BASIC IMMUNOLOGY SAMUEL AGUAZIM(MD). IMMUNOLOGY Today's lecture is going to summarize the whole course and there are going to be things that you may not.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d195503460f949eece3/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
TYPES OF ACQUIRED IMMUNE RESPONSEA. HUMORAL
• 1. PRIMARY IMMUNE RESPONSE• -first response to antigenic stimuli• -no antibodies can be measured in the
1st 3 to 5 days since the Th and B cells are still being activated
• -once antibodies are produced, IgM is the type first detected; later on, class switching occurs, and IgG predominates
• -IgA may also be detected depending on the presence of an oral or mucosal antigen
• 2. SECONDARY IMMUNE
RESPONSE• -also known as a memory or
anamnestic response to previously encountered antigen
• -mediated by the memory B and T cells
• -IgA may also be detected based on the type of antigen; IgE may be seen in response to helminths
![Page 45: BASIC IMMUNOLOGY SAMUEL AGUAZIM(MD). IMMUNOLOGY Today's lecture is going to summarize the whole course and there are going to be things that you may not.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d195503460f949eece3/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
• B. CELLULAR IMMUNE RESPONSE• -major cell type needed is the T cell• 1. APC present the antigens to T helper cells
through the help of MHC class II; CD4+ cells activate NK cells or macrophages and neutrophils
• 2. T helper cells also binds to B cells and secrete cytokines , IL-2 and IFN – gamma: proliferation and differentiation of cytotoxic T cells and macrophages
• 4. cytotoxic T cells (CTL) will bind to cells infected by viruses or tumors (through the help of MHC Class I); enzymes are secreted which kill the cells
![Page 46: BASIC IMMUNOLOGY SAMUEL AGUAZIM(MD). IMMUNOLOGY Today's lecture is going to summarize the whole course and there are going to be things that you may not.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d195503460f949eece3/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
• REGULATION OF THE IMMUNE RESPONSE• Immunosuppression:• -active immunologic unresponsiveness• -Interferon – gamma and interleukins can suppress
T helper response , leading to less activation of the B cells

Two pathways
• Classical Pathway• -most rapid, most
efficient• -activated by antigen-
antibody complexes (IgG or IgM)
• Alternative pathway• -activated by:• *cell wall of gram-
negative bacteria• *bacterial and plant
polysaccharides• *cobra venom factor• *endotoxins• *aggregated IgA, IgG,
IgG, IgM

FINAL PRODUCT
• Final Product for both pathways: Membrane attack complex
• (C5, C6, C7, C8, C9)• C5-C8 : attaches to the cell membrane• C9 : polymerizes in the membrane, causing
osmotic lysis of the cell
